Welcome to the Yarmouth Area Freecycle(tm) Network, based on the concept started in Tucson, AZ (www.freecycle.org). Here, one person's trash is another's treasure. Our group is open to anyone in the Yarmouth (Nova Scotia, Canada) area to post items which you either want to offer or receive, perhaps its a quilt, a door, or yogurt containers.
Freecycle lies somewhere between the garage sale and the dump, and is much cooler than either. It's an innovative concept that harnesses the power of the Internet to do what the Internet does best -- eliminate the middleman and empower the individual. Unlike traditional charitable organizations that accept people's castoffs and sell them for low prices in thrift shops (or end up taking them to the dump anyway), Freecycle allows for personal contact between donor and recipient -- each gets exactly what they want, and nobody is considered a 'charity case.'
The most important rule is everything must be absolutely *FREE*, no money, no barter, no trades, no strings.
Other than that, keep it free, legal and appropriate for all ages!
Just remember, PLEASE make your first post an offer, unless you are a registered non-profit!
